Multiculturalism is one of the most controversial ideas in
contemporary politics. In this new book George Crowder examines
some of the leading responses to multiculturalism, both supportive
and critical, found in the work of recent political theorists. The
book provides a clear and accessible introduction to a diverse
array of thinkers who have engaged with multiculturalism. These
include Will Kymlicka, whose account of cultural rights is seminal,
liberal critics of multiculturalism such as Brian Barry and Susan
Okin, and multiculturalist critics of liberalism including Charles
Taylor, Iris Marion Young, James Tully, and Bhikhu Parekh. In
addition the discussion covers a wide range of other perspectives
on multiculturalism - libertarian, feminist, democratic,
nationalist, cosmopolitan - and rival accounts of Islamic and
Confucian political culture. While offering a balanced assessment
of these theories, Crowder also argues the case for a distinctive
liberal-pluralist approach to multiculturalism, combining a liberal
framework that emphasises the importance of personal autonomy with
the value pluralism of thinkers such as Isaiah Berlin. This clear
and comprehensive account will be an indispensable textbook for
students in politics, sociology and political and social theory.
